Summary:
Rolf Mühlethaler is an award-winning Swiss architect whose approach is characterized by a comprehensive analysis of local and historical contexts in combination with a deep conceptual understanding of structural elements, symmetry, simplicity, and repetition. Drawing on more than thirty years of experience—twenty with his own Bern-based firm, Rolf Mühlethaler Architekt—he carefully designs and crafts his buildings with an eye toward balancing these concerns, or creating a fragile order. Published to accompany a major exhibition at Architekturgalerie Luzern, Fragile Order—Rolf Mühlethaler presents the first comprehensive English-language look at Mühlethaler’s complete body of work. The architect has realized projects for both publics and private clients, including single- and multi-family residences, schools, studios, and office spaces, as well as conversions of historic industrial buildings. Richly illustrated throughout with photographs that capture all stages of the process, from design sketches to completed projects, Fragile Order—Rolf Mühlethaler will be of interest to architects, as well as structural and building engineers.

Summary:
In 1978, Zofia Rydet (1911–97) began work on a monumental project that would come to be known as her ''Sociological Record'': photographing the people of Poland at their homes, she produced an extraordinary archive of around twenty thousand negatives. The undertaking consumed Rydet so completely that she was never able to give it final shape through a book or an art show.(...)

Summary:
In 1978, Zofia Rydet (1911–97) began work on a monumental project that would come to be known as her ''Sociological Record'': photographing the people of Poland at their homes, she produced an extraordinary archive of around twenty thousand negatives. The undertaking consumed Rydet so completely that she was never able to give it final shape through a book or an art show. ''Object Lessons'', a new volume of essays inspired by an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, helps to dispel the myths that have formed around the project in recent years and introduces the photographer to a new global audience. Rydet herself remained unresolved over the question of how to define her work, leaving the viewer to ponder whether her magnum opus is a piece of art or science. What does remain undisputed is that ''Sociological Record'' is a striking testimony of its time.

Summary:
Poursuivant sa réflexion autour des lieux dédiés aux divertissements – après l’exposition Landskating, les lieux du skate à travers le monde, présentée l’année dernière –, la villa Noailles consacre, en 2017, son exposition annuelle d’architecture aux discothèques. Par une sélection de projets des années 1960 à nos jours, l’exposition propose de saisir les outils architecturaux mis en jeu dans la conception de ces lieux d’émancipation. La discothèque est un territoire d’expérimentation pour les architectes : par des dispositifs technologiques et formels, ils y élaborent un monde artificiel, à l’ambiance maîtrisée, isolé de l’extérieur. Aux côtés de l’analyse d’un ensemble de projets français et étrangers, une commande est passée à l’architecte Nicolas Dorval-Bory pour la création d’une discothèque au sein de la villa Noailles elle-même. Ouverte le temps de l’exposition, cette “boite de nuit” éphémère met à jour et propose d’éprouver in vivo le propos de l’exposition. L’exposition rassemble des documents rares et parfois inédits, (plans, maquettes, photographies, sculptures, oeuvres graphiques, films) ainsi que des séries photographiques et des recherches de contributeurs invités.

Summary:
In 1965, leading Swiss furniture company USM patented its signature modular furniture system, USM Haller. This flexible storage solution for both home and office was inspired by Fritz Haller’s modular architecture and designed for infinite reuse and reconfiguration. Considered a design classic, USM Haller is included in the collections of major museums including MoMA and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. Released as part of USM’s fiftieth-anniversary celebration of this iconic furniture design, Rethink the Modular examines the role of unit-based systems in the wider context of architecture and design. It combines previously published writings, specially commissioned essays from thinkers and innovators John Thackara and Rick Poyner, and interviews with leading figures in the design world that explain how the concept of the modular influences their work. Interspersed with visual material, the texts reveal the many possibilities created by balancing structure with flexibility, and seek to redefine the place of modularity in modern design history.
